Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la viabilidad,
beneficios y desafíos del uso de ambiente acuático para evaluar
pruebas funcionales en comparación con el suelo. En este estudio,
cuarenta individuos fueron sometidos al 6-minute walk test (TC6),
al 2-minute step test (TSD2’) y al timed up and go test (TUG),
tanto en suelo como en una piscina con 1,2 metros profundidad
de. El esfuerzo de los participantes se midió con la Escala de Borg.
Los testes t de Student y Cohen d fueron utilizados para comparar
las evaluaciones entre ambientes. La significancia se quedó en 5 %.
En comparación con el suelo, los participantes caminaron menos
en el agua durante el TC6 (d=3,69, p<0,001) y tardaron más en
completar el TUG (d=2,76, p=0,001). No se observaron diferencias
en el esfuerzo entre los ambientes para el TC6 (p=0,055) y el TUG
(p=0,32). En cuanto al TSD2’, no hubo diferencia en el número de
escalones (p=0,45) pero los participantes experimentaron un menor
esfuerzo en el agua (d=1,15, p=0,001). En conclusión, los ambientes
acuáticos son una opción viable para realizar pruebas funcionales.
Aunque el agua puede haber aumentado la dificultad de ciertas
pruebas, el esfuerzo en el agua fue igual o menor que en suelo.
